"All on me guys, gotta be perfect all day, I was not, sorry" -Kyle Busch after taking the checkered flag, Randall says we made gains and had a fast car today, that we did indeed, shake it off, move on, learn, come back better
I've never thought Matt Crafton was as good as everyone believed him to be, the 4 titles are nice on the résumé but when you take into account that he's been in the truck series for two decades and hasn't moved up, kinda loses credibility to me ngl
Should be every week, not just when the track has new pavement or a reconfiguration, every week, regardless of whether the track has been changed or not
We are
#blessed
with a full, real, actual practice session today for the NASCAR Cup Series at Sonoma (because of the new pavement). Teams will be able to make multiple runs and changes and everything! Coming up in a few minutes.
"We clean up these little mistakes, we're gonna give em hell, i promise you that, they're gonna get tired of hearing about the 8 car." -
@RandallB14

Good car today boys, way to rebound after that mistake on pit road, good job
@SpotterDerek
and
@KyleBusch
, P7
Only Kyle Fucking Busch can do what he just did, 21st to fucking 8th in two laps, sucks we spun and lost a top 5 but
@RandallB14
made good calls all day, last one was gutsy so he's got my respect for that,
@SpotterDerek
keeping Kyle in the game always, that win is coming guys
Seeing a lot of people say that this could be our last shot to win this season, and i disagree, i know he won this race last season but we also ran well and had speed at other track too, we'll still have plenty of chances to win races
KFB fans, Randall said Kyle had a moment at Turn 10 so thats why our lap was bad, had that not happened our lap would have been better, i know it sucks to start back in the field but i didnt hear Kyle say anything about the car during this laps or the cooldown
I will take a P5 finish,
@RandallB14
your gamble paid off, i know its not what we wanted but our wheelman
@KyleBusch
was slicing and dicing through that top 10 before the caution came out, and
@SpotterDerek
, i love hearing you spot at these tracks, master class as always, onto NH
"I'm a complete letdown to my team"
You hear the dejection in his voice man and it hurts, he knows what's on the line and he knows that this team is better than what the results show and the results today won't show how fast we were, gotta keep fighting
Kyle Busch was "at a loss for words" after his car came around and backed into the wall during the
#NASCAR
Cup race at Texas.
He also talks about driving backwards after the crash:

@WyattGametime
Hard fought race all day for the
@RCRracing
#8
team, P.11, a fine points day and had a top 10 car all day, thank you
@SpotterDerek
for being an amazing spotter,
@RandallB14
for all the calls you make, and
@KyleBusch
for being the best wheelman, onto Kansas
I decided to listen to the scanner for
@KyleBusch
today while i was at work, and goddamn
@SpotterDerek
has shown once again why he is a top spotter in this sport, good shit on the p10
@RandallB14
and crew did a great job today lets keep it going
@RCRracing
Honestly bro, i feel like a lot of Rowdy Nation was really naive in thinking that Kyle was gonna go to RCR and all of their struggles were gonna disappear because of how good KB is and how much knowledge he has, its gonna take time for Kyle to bring them back up
@KyleBusch
Still made a comeback to finish 6th, even got close to a Top 5 and even contended for the win at the end there, you and the 8 crew never give up, my GOAT fr
@KyleBusch
I like listening to Randall talk about the relationship between he and Kyle, saying how involved Kyle actually is with the race team, after Iowa he, Kyle, and some of the engineers road back to the Airport together and talked about what they can do to get better
Hell yea boys, starting P5 tomorrow,
@RandallB14
made some good adjustments for the fire off speed,
@KyleBusch
always improving how he races on RC's thanks to the info from
@SpotterDerek
, did what we needed to do today, now let's go win tomorrow, and good luck tonight Derek
Seeing that Richard Childress himself is calling for a Culture change within his Organization is really good, but i wanna see these words translate onto the track
From earlier today: As frustrations mount, Kyle Busch, Bubba Wallace face uphill battles in playoff push. Comments from Busch, Wallace, Rodden, Childress, Hamlin
@NASCARONFOX
Tyler Reddick and Daniel Suarez both spun during the first day of the Goodyear tire test at Watkins Glen. Drivers tested out six different tire compounds, two of which have been used earlier this year on road courses.
Jesse Love also wrecked.
Won stage one, 2nd in stage two, winner of the race, now that is a good race, how boutcha hometown hero
@RandallB14
, 3 wins before the playoffs even begin, more to come, we're not done yet, the field gonna get tired of seeing us up front, lets go,
@KyleBusch
,
@SpotterDerek
Im so done man, it was shaping up to be a good finish, another DNF for the 8 and im dejected,
@RandallB14
,
@SpotterDerek
you guys did all you could today and
@KyleBusch
showed he was still a wheelman at the end, shoulda been a top 5 but it is what it is
The guys at
@RCRracing
are gonna do their damndest to make sure this car is race ready for tomorrow, not all is lost yet, this is not ideal obviously but we shouldn't give up hope yet, im gonna be cautiously optimistic,
@SpotterDerek
said our pace was good before we wrecked
Kyle Busch is back in a Super Late Model for the first time in a while. He started shotgun on the field tonight in his qualifying race and finished 8th.
What was it like being back at Oxford and how did this deal come together? Hear from
@KyleBusch
. ⬇️
I also wanna add on a big fuck you to the booth for saying Kyle shouldn't have gotten his spot back but said jackshit when Chase Elliott didn't have to go to the back when he wrecked
People need to stop overreacting over this, it was a heat of the moment comment by Derek, he even said he likes Alex and Kyle has gotten raced aggressively pretty much all season and he's stated he's sick of getting run over by everyone and that he's gonna start doing it back
He himself called it a top 10 car, god its so frustrating to see Randall do all this strategy to make our day better, Kyle drive his ass off with a car not as good as he'd like, and Derek spot his ass off trying his damndest to help, and we not even get to finish the fucking race
Kyle Busch outside the care center wasn't sure what that one regular-season point at the end of the stage would mean for Kyle Larson when Larson ended up getting loose and into Busch, ending his day.
@daltongood8
@KevinHarvick
KFB will never have a more fitting and challenging rival than Kevin Harvick, really hoped for his last season Harvick and KFB would dominate just to give us that rivalry again
+24 to the good, just need a solid run at Bristol and we'll make it through, of course we wanna win but advancing to the next round and still being in the running for this Championship is too important so again, just need a solid run but a win is always great
The
#NASCARPlayoffs
standings with one race left in the first round!
Tyler Reddick locks in his spot in the next round as Martin Truex Jr. is below the cut line.
RCR is not trash, we have shown speed in every race this season except Phoenix and Richmond, i know the stretch of short tracks and seeing us not run in the top 10 is upsetting and annoying but we are Rowdy Nation and we can't give up so early
Honestly, i don't believe in the "Lenovo Curse" i know we've had bad races and Lenovo just happened to be the scheme, i like the way the car looks and it would look amazing in victory lane
Alright Rowdy Nation this is gonna sound weird and probably wrong to a lot of you but stay with me here i feel like Kyle is happy at RCR with the aspect of they want him there and are committed to him and the process of getting better but obviously not with the recent performance

@KyleBusch
P.3 for our team today, great car, great adjustments
@RandallB14
all day making it better, hell of an effort
@KyleBusch
, battled all day and was the fastest car for a good bit at the end there, and
@SpotterDerek
, so grateful to have you apart of
#RowdyNation
, great job today team
Definitely bittersweet, it was a good season but seeing what more he coulda, shoulda, woulda, had/done throughout the season, it gives me confidence that next year will be so much better, proud of our team and driver
Unfortunately ima have to say Kyle Busch, its been a culmination of bad luck, sometimes just off the pace, and mistakes by driver, pit crew, or Crew Chief, and i am hoping they find something over this break and win a race and make the playoffs or come back next season stronger
My 🐐 was making moves all race, definitely have to give a shoutout to the Legend
@SpotterDerek
for always being able to predict runs and tell his drivers where everyone is around him, if KB wins a SS race this season, it'll definitely be because of Derek
Richard Childress had a message for Ricky Stenhouse Jr when we talked to him today prior to the Helping A Hero Patriot Award Dinner. He says if Ricky touches
@KyleBusch
's 8 car at Charlotte, he will whoop Ricky's A$$ personally. He also wishes he had stayed to fight Sunday.
Top fucking 5, after hitting the damn barrier early on in the race,
@RandallB14
i say this again, thank you for being the best fucking Crew Chief in the garage, 3rd time this season your strategy has worked for us on a Road Course, and of course we have
Gonna need a perfectly executed race at the Roval next weekend, i know we can do it
@RandallB14
,
@SpotterDerek
i know you're being hard on yourself cause of your own standards but we all know you're still one of the best spotters on the stand and
@KyleBusch
, lets get locked in
Over the last week, I’ve heard a lot of people say Kyle Busch should get out of his contract and go to Spire Motorsports. I would totally understand him wanting a chance at a JGR or an HMS seat, but I feel like RCR to Spire is not beneficial enough. Do you actually think Spire
Seeing KB fans saying he should retire cause he's bad, hope yall say this when we run well but yall wont, im frustrated too but i dont think we should take it that far
I mean Kyle can only do so much as a driver and i believe he is very hands on with his team its ultimately up to RCR on what they do with the information that he provides them
Dale Earnhardt Jr. backs Kyle Busch: ‘The pressure is on RCR’: Dale Earnhardt Jr. is supporting Kyle Busch who has yet to win a Cup Series race this year. On the Dale Jr. Download podcast, Earnhardt believes Busch is doing all the right things despite…
He did all he could and so did his team, good pit stops except for the sliding through the box and the lug nut miscue, he drove the shit out of that car and thanks to Randall and Derek, put it in position to win
I remember how pissed off i was at the Roval Race last year because AJ Allmendinger decided after not being the dominant car on Road Courses like we expected, that he'd reawaken his Road Course Divinity at the worst possible Race
God man, the overreacting that i am seeing from some Kyle Busch fans, its actually embarrassing and childish, 21st is our worst finish of the season that didnt come from getting wrecked or a mechanical failure, calm down, still a lot of time left in the season to turn it around
Proud of the
#8
team today, had a top 10 car all day but a messy stop set us back, good fucking call
@RandallB14
pitting before that caution, put us back in contention for the win,
@SpotterDerek
masterful job spotting as always, i will gladly take second
@KyleBusch
@RCRracing
Listen fellow KB fans, i understand some of us want Kyle to go to 23XI, but i just cant see that happening with who've they've got waiting in the wings, the Gray Brothers, Corey Heim, William Sawalich, i think Kyle stays with RCR and helps them further
“I'm sure he's mad. I’m sure there were guys that got caught up that were mad, but I didn't feel like it was a bonehead move.”
@CoreyLaJoie
on his lap 121 contact with
@KyleBusch
that saw Busch spin and collect other cars.
📹
@stephen_stumpf
PLEASE BE TRUE, PLEASE, i have wanted this since last season, i understand why Kyle went with Kaulig but if he had been win RCR he would have been competitive, i need this, this would feed my entire lineage
Annoyed, we were much better than 15th,
@RandallB14
brought us a fast car and
@KyleBusch
drove a great race but the pit crew didn't execute, i'll always love hearing
@SpotterDerek
spot he's always so informative, i believe in
@RCRracing
but we need to execute on all sides
P2, i will absolutely take it, great points day, another great call by
@RandallB14
to put us up there in contention,
@SpotterDerek
, masterful job spotting and relaying information as usual, and our driver
@KyleBusch
way to fight all weekend, this
@RCRracing
#8
team gets stronger
YES LETS FUCKING GO, POLE POSITION WOOOOOOOOO YEA,
@RandallB14
and the guys at
@RCRracing
brought us a good
@FICO
Chevy, amazing pickup from practice and the first round of Qualifying, im so happy
When are poeple gonna accept that drivers race in the lower series for Track time, plus Kyle even says the reason he's doing it, he thinks it'd be fun and he wants to help the Xfinity program and engines
We did it, we survived, struggled all night with the handling and could never get it to where we needed it but lets put this behind us
@RandallB14
,
@SpotterDerek
,
@KyleBusch
, and the whole
@RCRracing
8 crew, we made it to the Round of 12, now lets get to work and move forward
RCR just missed it as a whole today, im not gonna say he should start looking for a new ride like some people say for some reason, i feel like this was just one of those days where they missed it simply, they've got speed but we need the consistency again
Bro, the fact that some people still believe that Kyle was let go from JGR and couldn't find a sponsor was because he was "unmarketable" and "because of his past behavior" blows my fuckin mind, just willful ignorance at that point
We can get back to this point my friends, i know expectations are low and i cant say i blame any of you but if they are all committed to the process of becoming better, the 8 team we saw last year will return but stronger, especially with all the changes we've heard are happening
